Translation

EN

If ye are on a journey, and cannot find a scribe, a pledge with possession (may serve the purpose). And if one of you deposits a thing on trust with another, Let the trustee (Faithfully) discharge His trust, and let him fear his Lord. Conceal not evidence; for whoever conceals it,- His heart is tainted with sin. And Allah Knoweth all that ye do.

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

If you are on a journey, and cannot find a scribe, something should be handed over as security, but if you decide to trust one another, then let the one who is trusted fulfil his trust; let him be mindful of God, his Lord. Do not conceal evidence: anyone who does so has a sinful heart, and God is fully aware of everything you do.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleemall-rights-reserved

If ye be on a journey and cannot find a scribe, then a pledge in hand (shall suffice). And if one of you entrusteth to another let him who is trusted deliver up that which is entrusted to him (according to the pact between them) and let him observe his duty to Allah his Lord. Hide not testimony. He who hideth it, verily his heart is sinful. Allah is Aware of what ye do.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

And if you are on a journey and cannot find a scribe, then a security deposit [should be] taken. And if one of you entrusts another, then let him who is entrusted discharge his trust [faithfully] and let him fear Allāh, his Lord. And do not conceal testimony, for whoever conceals it - his heart is indeed sinful, and Allāh is Knowing of what you do.

Eğer yolculukta olup katip bulamazsanız alınan rehin yeter. Şayet birbirinize güvenirseniz, güvenilen kimse borcunu ödesin. Rabbi olan Allah'tan sakınsın. Şahidliği gizlemeyin, onu kim gizlerse şüphesiz kalbi günah işlemiş olur. Allah işlediklerinizi bilir.

Şayet siz sefer üzere olur bir kâtip de bulamazsanız, o vakit alınmış bir rehin belge yerine geçer. Yok eğer birbirinize güveniyorsanız kendisine güvenilen adam Rabbi olan Allah'dan korksun da üzerindeki emaneti ödesin. Bir de şahitliğinizi inkâr edip gizlemeyin, onu kim inkâr ederse mutlaka onun kalbi vebal içindedir. Her ne yaparsanız Allah onu bilir.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

Yolculuktayken kâtip bulamazsanız (borca karşılık) alınmış bir rehin (kapora yeterlidir). Birbirinize güvenirseniz, kendisine güvenilen kişi, emaneti (sahibine) versin ve Rabbi olan Allah’a karşı takvâlı (duyarlı) olsun! Şahitliği (bildiklerinizi) gizlemeyin! Kim onu gizlerse onun kalbi günahkârdır. Allah yaptıklarınızı bilendir.

وإن كنتم مسافرين ولم تجدوا مَن يكتب لكم فادفعوا إلى صاحب الحق شيئًا يكون عنده ضمانًا لحقِّه إلى أن يردَّ المدينُ ما عليه من دين، فإن وثق بعضكم ببعض فلا حرج في ترك الكتابة والإشهاد والرهن، ويبقى الدَّين أمانة في ذمَّة المدين، عليه أداؤه، وعليه أن يراقب الله فلا يخون صاحبه. فإن أنكر المدين ما عليه من دين، وكان هناك مَن حضر وشهد، فعليه أن يظهر شهادته، ومن أخفى هذه الشهادة فهو صاحب قلب غادر فاجر. والله المُطَّلِع على السرائر، المحيط علمه بكل أموركم، سيحاسبكم على ذلك.
